cpg1.5.46 Security release - upgrade mandatory!The Coppermine development team is releasing a security update for Coppermine in order to counter recently discovered vulnerabilities. It is important that all users who run version cpg1.5.44 or older update to this latest version as soon as possible.[more]

It is still in place and works okay in my test. Your setup may not have allow_url_fopen enabled in your PHP and the extension libcurl is also not loaded. One of these is required for the upgrader to be able to access the 1.6.01 release on Github.

It's ok, It didn't take long to do it manually anyway - I dont use any modifications, so 1.6 works just fine. I guess tommorow I'll copy it into a php7 folder and see how that works. I can't thank you guys enough for all the work, coppermine has been my preferred gallery for as long as I can remember...10-12 years maybe?- Bill

I managed to get 1.6 in upgraded and running. On first choice for login I made the mistake of selecting pdo:mysql and this added pdomysql in the onit as database option. This is not one of the paths. So I edited back yo mysqli and then everything was happy.The cookie still registered as 1.5x though.. Excellent work there. But I should be OK with updating on the ISP. Which is recommending php7 for the longer term support.

New here and don't know squat about PHP... But got my gallery killed with server updating to PHP 7..

It appears as same error as DAGGERS posted on 1-27-16 and it appears there is a FIX in very next posting, but I don't know how to go about it (yes I am php ignorant) but is there a simple set of step by step procedure to get the fix to work?. I know its to copy "this" to "that" in the "whatsit" file but its sort of greek as I am not php programmer or even familiar.. I know it has to be simple, but not for me?.... Thank to anyone who can walk me through it...

That fix was a temporary workaround. Best bet now is to upgrade to version 1.6.x, but you may run into a few problems if you were not up to date. Do a search on the forums regarding upgrading to 1.6 and you will find plenty of instruction. Here is one such thread - http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,79013.0.html

It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.

As stated in the post you quoted - it won't fix all the errors under PHP7.. Likely best to upgrade to CPG 1.6.

But to use the file you downloaded - you would need to place it in the CPG directory on your server - I would suggest in yourcpgfolder/include directory...Then open yourcpgfolder/include/init.inc.php and find:

require 'include/mysql_mysqli.inc.php';(substitute the file name you saved/uploaded as if different...)

When a mysql_ function is called - it will be defined by this addition - and will call the equivalent (assuming the library is coded correctly - I haven't used or tested it) mysqli function for you and return the result.

Again - there will be other issues with CPG 1.5 and PHP7... These are all resolved in CPG 1.6.
